Safe Room
In cases where a family feels they can't keep their child safe from suicide and the child can't go to the crisis shelter yet due to the acuteness of crisis, this room is a 24-hour supervised option for kids to stay in for a max of 72 hours. Most children only stay from 24 to 36 hours. During this time, they work closely with the child to decrease the acuteness of suicidality through relationship. From here, most kids move to a crisis bed.
